Yesterday I worked on my Zen garden for many hours. I shopped at Kia’s, Hearts, Hosoi Ichiba and Aynnie took me to a texture place. The garden is more work than I anticipated. The problem is, a good Zen garden has many important elements but one of the elements that is most difficult to achieve is a sense of naturalness. My favorite Zen gardens appear to have evolved into their surroundings and this is what I’m struggling with. I plan to do a photo study of the garden today to get a perspective for going forward.
